Authorities believe there was only one shooter and they do not believe the shooting was sparked by road rage
This image released by the Mount Vernon Fire Department shows traffic stopped during an active shooting on Interstate 75 north of London, Ky., on Sept. 7.A manhunt was under way early Sunday as police searched for a gunman in a rural area of southeastern Kentucky near Interstate 75, according to authorities who said seven people were hurt in the shooting and a vehicle accident that accompanied the violence.
“When our first two units got to the scene there, they said it was a madhouse: people on the sides of the road, emergency flashers going, bullet holes, windows shot out, nine vehicles shot. Can you imagine that? Just chaotic,” Acciardo said during a news conference Sunday. Officers from multiple law enforcement agencies searched a remote, wooded area, but eventually suspended the search because of darkness. The search will resume at daybreak Sunday, he said.
Acciardo cautioned that authorities “have not determined that this is the individual that fired the weapon.” The interstate was closed 9 miles north of London but reopened about three hours later, according to the sheriff’s office.
